Does This Place Even Exist?
Brenton, Can You Help Me?
Hey, Brenton,
Can you get me the directions to "anywhere, but here"
I've been lost with misdirection
for almost 6 whole years
I cannot follow your example
cause, my eyes are full of tears
Can you send me better guidance
to help get me up, out of here?
The twisted words are glitter
they entice me to hold on
Then leave me feeling bitter
I want to pass on this baton
The race is getting longer
and my legs are wearing out
Just when I think I'm getting stronger
I feel my lungs are filled with doubt
So, if you know the place, I'm looking for
kindly send an SOS?
Cause I'm stuck here on the floor
repeating retrogress

I love this. Directions to anywhere but here? So evocative.
The twisted words are glitter ✨ I particularly love this line! Great job with this poem ✨
We are always looking for new directions to go all one has to do is look up and he will lead.
